Front quarter view of the 100 hp Mercedes D.I-powered "Bulldog" built by SSW to Forssman's prewar design. Seating was two crewmen side-by-side. No armament was fitted. The radiators are fitted between the wing-roots and the wheels. |

Forssman's 100 hp Mercedes D.I-powered "Bulldog" with Forssman standing in front of it; the vertical tail has been enlarged from the aircraft for Prince Sigismund. This aircraft and the other "Bulldog" powered by a 110 hp Siemens-Halske Sh.I counter-rotary engine were both rejected by the Army for poor performance and mediocre flying qualities. |

This is the first (or original) version of the Siemens Bulldogge. It was powered by a 100 hp Siemens Sh I rotary engine (in German it was called a Gegenlaufer, a special construction rotary apparently favored by Siemens in their rotary engines). Its mediocre handling qualities were no better than the Mercedes-powered version. |

After being modified to eliminate its protruding belly, the SSW Bulldog, powered by one of the first 110 hp Siemens-Halske Sh.I counter-rotary engines, was used to launch scale gliders to develop shapes for the SSW guided missile program. |
